🤝 [N26](https://www.meetup.com/n26-tech-product-design-events-in-barcelona/) is very happy to invite you to discover how AI agents development works, this time with special guests from **Intent HQ.** ❗**Please provide your full legal name when registering - otherwise you will not be allowed entry to the event.** **Be ready to show a photo ID at your arrival, exactly matching the name you provided** 🚀 **Talk description** Join us for an evening exploring real-world lessons from rebuilding a product around AI agents. We'll share the journey from early assistant failures to production agentic workflows including the organizational shifts, technical decisions, and hard-won insights along the way. At the helm we’ll have two guest speakers: **🗣Claudia Teres, Lead Product Engineer @ Intent HQ, Barcelona, Spain** Claudia is a skilled software engineer helping bridge the gap between product and tech, currently leading the development efforts of Intent HQ’s agentic product. **🗣Manuel Fidalgo, Senior Machine Learning Engineer @ Intent HQ, Barcelona, Spain** Manuel is a hands-on machine learning engineer whose main focus is the development of agents, tools and the infrastructure surrounding these, empowering other engineers and data scientists to deliver the right value in the GenAI context. **What we'll cover:** **🎯 The Product Journey:** Why we chose to rebuild rather than iterate, how we validated the new vision with a constrained POC, and why making agent reasoning visible in the UI became critical to user experience. **⚙️ The Technical Deep-Dive:** Finding the balance between deterministic and non-deterministic actions, designing agent boundaries, toolsets vs MCPservers, managing context windows, and building guardrails that actually work. We'll also discuss high-impact bets (A2A, MCP), cross-functional team dynamics, and why speed of learning beats perfection in fast-moving AI spaces. 🗓 **Agenda:** **18:00: Reception** **18:30: Event introduction** **18:45: Product talk** **19:30: Tech talk** **20:15: Networking & Pizzas** **21:00: Session Ends** 📣 **Facilitators:** **Jose Alamo, Senior Machine Learning Engineer @ N26, Barcelona, Spain** Jose is a machine learning engineer at N26, currently working on the AI platform team.

**Work alongside other entrepreneurs. Not alone.** If you're building something and your "office" is your kitchen table, a noisy café, or your own head — this is for you. On **April 17th**, Workhall Sant Gervasi opens its doors for **6 entrepreneurs** to spend a full workday together. No pitching contests. No panels. Just a day of real work, good coffee, and the kind of conversations that only happen when people who are building things share a table. **What's included:** * Full-day access to the coworking space (10:00 – 18:00) * Wi-Fi & workspace * Brunch together at 11:00 — the best way to break the ice * A small group of 6 entrepreneurs max — no crowds, real connections **Who is this for?** Entrepreneurs, freelancers, and independent professionals who want to get out of isolation and work around people who get it. **Why only 6 spots?** Because networking doesn't happen in a room of 50 strangers. It happens when 6 people share a brunch and realize they're solving similar problems. 📍 Workhall Sant Gervasi, Barcelona 📅 Friday, April 17 · 10:00 – 18:00 🎟️ 10€ — limited to 6 spots *Sign up here and we'll contact you to confirm your spot and send the payment link.* 📞 Questions?

El "Taller de agentes IA con AI Studio y Gemma 4", será realizado por el Google Developer Expert Víctor Sanchez (lead organizer del GDG Mallorca) y por Andreu Ibáñez (lead organizer GDG Spain y GDG Lleida), y consistirá en la formación con los sistemas agénticos más modernos que se encuentren disponibles en el momento, ya que esto es una locura y todo evoluciona muy rápido. Previo al taller Andreu nos introducirá brevemente al mundo de los agentes, y su evolución en los últimos meses, para después pasar a la parte práctica de la mano de Víctor. Durante el taller haremos redeem de códigos gratuitos entregados por Google Cloud/Google Developers, para montar una VPS (servidor remoto privado y virtual) donde instalaremos un sistema dockerizado y un agente Hermes, que está comiendo el paso a OpenClaw, y que seguro en breve tendrá competencia. Este agente de IA estará conectado al último modelo de Gemma 4 disponible, lo que nos permite ejecutar instancias locales según el hardware de que dispongamos. La instalación se realiza con Docker, consiguientemente cualquier entorno o tipo de sistema operativo sirve (Windows, Linux, Mac). Y no te preocupes si nunca lo has usado, Víctor te enseñará :) Los asistentes deberán traer su laptop bien cargado y tener conectividad propia vía su propio móvil haciendo de hotspot, ya que no podemos garantizar el caudal para todo el mundo vía wifi. El taller en resumen enseñará a los asistentes a crear la VPS en Google Cloud, instalar el agente Hermes dockerizado y hacer pruebas con un modelo open source Gemma 4. La aplicación de este sistema ya dependerá de cada cual, ya que al ser Gemma 4 multimodal, las aplicaciones son infinitas. De su web: Gemma 4 introduces key capabilities and architectural advancements: Reasoning – All models in the family are designed as highly capable reasoners, with configurable thinking modes. Extended Multimodalities – Processes Text, Image with variable aspect ratio and resolution support (all models), Video, and Audio (featured natively on the E2B and E4B models). Diverse & Efficient Architectures – Offers Dense and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) variants of different sizes for scalable deployment. Optimized for On-Device – Smaller models are specifically designed for efficient local execution on laptops and mobile devices. Increased Context Window – The small models feature a 128K context window, while the medium models support 256K. Enhanced Coding & Agentic Capabilities – Achieves notable improvements in coding benchmarks alongside native function-calling support, powering highly capable autonomous agents. Native System Prompt Support – Gemma 4 introduces native support for the system role, enabling more structured and controllable conversations. Aunque el taller es gratis, el local exige un consumo mínimo por persona de una pizza y una bebida, aprox 14 €.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
